Other Information

You are invited to bring a group of year 10 students to this event, the group will need to be accompanied by an adult/adults from school who will be responsible for them during the day.

We are initially limiting numbers to 30 per school which will enable you to bring a whole class (i.e. your top set year 10 maths group). However, it is anticipated that these days will be oversubscribed, so we will ask that, should you have to decrease the number you initially applied for, you give as much notice as possible so we can offer the places to other schools.

The students will be allocated to the different workshops, we aim to have workshop sizes between 20 and 25 to enable a hands on interactive experience. Therefore if you bring a group which is larger than 20 we will need to split your students into two groups so that they attend different workshops - I am assuming that there will be at least 2 adults accompanying groups of over 15 so that all of your students are accompanied by a known member of staff at all times.
